James Comer has 'no confidence' special counsel would properly investigate Hunter Biden – Conservative Institute https://t.co/AfRbNq1HuO

Republican Rep. James Comer, hailing from the great state of Kentucky, serves as the chairman of the House Oversight Committee. With a stoic determination, Comer boldly declared, “I have no confidence in special counsels.” And who can blame him? When it comes to the Biden administration, the idea of an independent, credible, and unbiased special counsel feels like nothing more than a pipe dream.
Comer believes that his committee is making significant strides in their investigation. And he’s not wrong. As chairman, he has overseen hearings featuring impeccable witnesses such as IRS Special Agent Joseph Ziegler and his supervisor, Gary Shapley. These dedicated individuals stepped into the spotlight, risking everything to bring the truth to the American people.
Agent Ziegler spoke out about his decision to testify, emphasizing the importance of standing together. “I didn’t want to leave my supervisor, Gary, there alone,” he said. “And I thought it was important that for my credibility, that people hear it straight from me.” Kudos to Agent Ziegler for his unwavering dedication to the pursuit of justice.
During his testimony, Ziegler highlighted the concept of “willfulness” as the justification for prosecuting Hunter Biden on tax evasion charges. This term refers to whether someone intentionally and knowingly evades taxes or submits false returns. And according to Ziegler, the evidence against Hunter Biden is overwhelming. It’s crystal clear that willfulness was at play in his alleged tax evasion.
But it wouldn’t be a scandal without some shady characters trying to cover their tracks. Ziegler revealed that Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf worked against them by tipping off Hunter Biden’s defense attorneys about the investigation. This breach of protocol left the IRS agents feeling like they were left out in the cold. No seat at the table, no voice in the matter. It was a defining moment that exposed the lack of proper procedure.
The actions of assistant U.S. attorney Wolf raise serious questions about the integrity and transparency of the investigation. How can we trust that justice will be served when there are individuals within the system actively sabotaging the pursuit of truth? It’s clear that some individuals are more interested in protecting the Bidens than upholding the rule of law.
This whistleblower testimony on Capitol Hill shines a damning light on the Biden family’s alleged tax evasion. If there was ever a need for a special counsel, it’s now. But with Comer’s lack of confidence in the process and the evident bias within the system, it’s up to Republicans like him to lead the charge and ensure that the truth prevails. We cannot allow the Biden administration to sweep these serious allegations under the rug. The American people deserve answers, and they deserve justice.
